That makes sense. Thanks

May i get clarification on what you mean by "when your empire becomes passively profitable"?

What is the reason for the discrepancy you seen on the diplomatic relations screen and what is in the Ambassador character screen. for example, Ambassador Arak does not even have diplomacy listed under skills. when i look at a specific empire in my diplo relations screen and see his card on a ...

im interested in the advise. i find it very hard to dig out of such holes.

i'll give this a try. Thanks.

DW1 is great and have some really nice mods too. Deffently worth a go.
Main issue i found with it, is lag. It runs really slow when you come to late game. And don´t even think about making those carrier fleets. They are good. But destroys what left of your frame rates.

Agreed. Lag. Single ...

Don´t know how far you got into the game.
But an early expansion helps alot. It´s not as much the size of the enemy but there tech level that matters. I always play on hardest difficulty to get a challange and do it the same way evry time.
Get good jump drive asap. build scouts big time, i ...

Don't disregard your colony garisson. They can save you from a lot of hassle, like surprise rebellions and raids.

Ugh. Good point. I have a bad habit of penny pinching and keeping my troop count too low. Thanks

Thanks to the whole DW2 team for a great game. Thanks for this updated road map. Looking forward to all the update.

it wasn't horrible. they wanted to rejoin almost immediately. after the genocide of my entire intelligence staff.

playing a game that i started a week ago with most recent beta. i am turning the corning into late game. not super interesting as i am begging to snow ball. then i see the unhappiness icon for a brief second before i get a message that my capital has rebelled, and all my spies that were there were ...

Lol. Well, I guess I was user error. Thanks for clearing that up.

I have seen this before and just thought it was user error, now im not sure. i am playing humans and part of their victory goals is defense treaties. im currently late/mid and im trying to get some signed but its greyed out stating "this treaty does not align with our goals". my strategy is on ...

Are spaceports really that significant for science production? Maybe I misunderstood it but I thought when I looked at it that it produced less science than a research station did and I usually have tons of those out there compared to the number of colonies I have.?

I wish they had the old generic ...

what are their purpose?

as stated. if so then how do you utilize them? im trying to understand the differences. for example, one is named 'invasion army'. presuming the planet is set to auto troops, would you choose that one on the planet where you are wanting to have your invasion fleet pick up troops ?

I have not decided if they are or not... my question is if the AI can use the information or not. Me as a player can certainly use the information to my advantage. If the ruin gets me a science station, that is a huge bonus, resort locations less so... but can eventually be useful.

But the ...

I'm trying to understand why, when negotiating a trade, locations of some ruins have values that are very high. In a supply and demand system, my understanding , these things are only as valuable as one's ability to exploit it. I am quite happy to take their money to know where something is, but I ...

im sure someone has said this but i want to second it. i would suggest hiding the victory conditions progress behind intelligence missions. its already kind of so with not adding civs until discovered. just feels a little cheaty sometimes when i go and check how i compare. i have stopped trying to ...
